I am off to Nurburgring on the 26th May for 5 days. Never done a trackday before but it's not a track anymore, more like a very fast one way road. At least the insurance won't be an issue as it's a public toll road. Read many things about it and yes there are dangers but if you look into it most crashes are caused by those who ride/drive as if it were a racetrack. The worst one I heard was a rider crashed and died and when the recovery team went to collect his bike (which flew over the Armco) they discovered another biker who had been dead for a week. Yuk. I have booked a 5 lap ticket and will be taking it nice and easy, there are many safety tips you need to adhere to and you should be okay.

It is still a track. When it is open to the public it is classified as an 'unrestricted toll road' - look out for this exclusion in your insurance documentation.

Riding 'nice and easy' when others are going at warp factor 9 is not necessarily the best strategy. When the speed differential is minimised, everyone has more time to react. Would you rather that cars were overtaking you at 5 mph or 50 ?
